Information about the type of livestock systems in the country (e.g. large commercial farms, traditional keepers on communal grazing) à information about epidemiological units

visualize the distribution of livestock throughout the country

Information about location of farms and livestock density for disease control and outbreak response

Strategy development (disease control, placement of quarantine units)

Monitoring of vaccination campaigns

Knowing the number of animals in the country enables purchase of the right amount of vaccine

Targeted vaccination in terms of geographical location but also regarding livestock production systems

Planning of preventive vaccination and disease response vaccination à in case of an outbreak it is easy to determine the surrounding farms using the GIS system

Vaccination is registered as an event of the animal or herd à Unnecessary multiple and untimely vaccinations are prevented

Progress of the vaccination campaign can be monitored and visualized using GIS

Correct use of vaccine can be monitored (comparison of number of purchased/distributed vaccine with the amount of doses used)

Combination with sero surveillance à analysis of the effectiveness of vaccination programs

Disease control measures and –plans (example of a vaccination campaign)

Identification of at risk and economically important livestock populations

Planning of the disease control campaign

Logistics of vaccination (people, transport, training of staff)

Amount of vaccines

Evaluation of the effectiveness of vaccination campaigns through diseases testing, sero surveillance

Visualization of disease situation and vaccinated population using GIS

Using the experience from one campaign to improve the planning of future disease control measures

Effective and fast reaction to disease outbreaks Through animal identification and movement reporting it is possible to quickly trace the movements of animals showing the signs of a contagious or infectious disease and establish contact points with other animals
